(instrumental)
I heard a voice last night
It said wake up and open your eyes
Wake up walk out tonight
Cause she don't care if you're dead or alive, dead or alive
She moves like beams of light
Straight through this universe in my head
Where I get peace of mind
I'm free from the stupid things that I said
She's all in my head
Did I get lost while I was gone
I traveled space for much too long
But there's a planet I have found
And you are far away from now
Somewhere behind her eyes
Some super natural energy
Takes me for quite the ride
Across time
Where I defy gravity
As soon as a dream
Did I get lost while I was gone
I traveled space for much too long
Did I get lost while I was gone
I traveled space for much too long
But there's a planet I have found
And you are far away
Far away
You are far away
Where is your inspiration, you lost it, oh so long ago
so much for innovation, I saw this coming long before
You had no motivation, your hopes are high but trapped below,
This constant competition, we've won but your still keeping score
But I grew up, wishing on a star
You think I won't ever get too far.
So high on dedication, it feels so good to get away,
From all this repetition, this angry town, this battleground
So now we'll break tradition, we'll leave you swimming in our wake
Without your inspiration, you won't survive, you'll surely drown
But I grew up, wishing on a star
You think I won't ever get too far
So now I am wishing on a star
You think I won't ever get too far
Christmas break of ninety eight just flipped me upside down
One coast out to the other, following the sound
Headed west to get the best of what we all knew then
One ocean to another, waves come crashing down
Carrying just me and Stephanie, she held my hand
Told me, why, I was
Blazing down that highway on my way to Rock Star Land
California, a place they say glistens gold.
I wanna go there and never come back home.
Staring up at freeway signs in dreams that make me sad
One coast out to the other
One ocean to another
We cruised out to the other side
Loved us in Nebraska how they cheered us in Mattane
Told me why, I, was
Blazing down that highway on my way to Rock Star Land
California, a place they say glistens gold.
I wanna go there and never come back home.
California, a place they say glistens gold.
I wanna go there and never come back
Sleeping late on
Warm afternoon
Waking up to
Bright silver moon
Silent words from
My heart to you
My empty filled
Filled up with you
Rockets fly
Rockets fly
I slip another smile in your pocket
My heart is racing to you like a rocket
Rockets fly
Rockets fly
I slip another smile in your pocket
My heart is racing to you like a rocket
The two of us we dream like one
Our energy could light the sun
The two of us take breath as one
We'll leave this shit behind
Our moms, our dads, our lives
Leave them all back there
Leave it back without a care
Friends and familes too
Leave them back at home with you
Checking out of our home town
Gonna make it somehow
We'll leave this shit behind
Leave this shit behind
Leave this shit behind
Behind, behind, behind
Going to California
Money is one thing we don't have
Have to play shows along the way
Have to make it our way fast
Just the 5 of us crammed into the bus
Checking out of our home town
Gonna make it somehow
We'll leave this shit behind
Leave this shit behind
Leave this shit behind
Behind, behind, behind
Leave this shit behind
Leave this shit behind
Leave it all back there
Leave it back without a care
Friends and families too
Leave them back at home with you
Checking out of our home town
Here it is
One more glass for these broken hands
Goes down for you
I've fallen in
I sink then swallow
I never meant
To see this through
I'm taking them all
I'm taking them all back for good
To a place where I know that I'm safe
Then I can fall
Then I could fall where I should
In this bottle with all my mistakes
All the days
Since I've landed
I've lost the way
To find my truth
You float away
And leave me stranded
What's left to say
I'll hurt for you
I could sleep
But when I wake here
You'd still be gone
And you're my air
I could breathe
If you would stay here
For another song
So I could stare
I could sleep
But when I wake here
You'd still be gone
And you're my air
I could breathe
If you would stay here
For another song
it's six in the morning,
you still haven't slept yet
you're tired from all yesterday,
but all you can do is
just try to wake up
and prepare for what tomorrow will bring,
it's cold out it's raining,
no one to complain
just wishing the time will go by
sitting here anxious a touch too ambitious
so tell me what time do we end
this on going process
cuz someday you'll have to begin,
working your ass off while they sit relaxing
do the same thing day after day
working only cuz i do it the right way
and soon these things will change
you lost all you live in the world underneath
[repeat]
woke up this morning
you realized it's ok
you're taking some time to just look at the sky
the sun is still shining,
i realize that life isn't working from 6
and not thinking twice,
you still got your brain and
you still got your life,
but your running out of things all the time
misunderstaments about how we live
running around all the time
one day these thoughts will come together,
one day this shit will work out fine.
it's just like they said it, but it seems like forever,
yes i'm distorted a blur in your mind,
and the ever race you run, it's only with yourself.
overcome the obstacles you just you need you,
nobody else
- Melodic Song-
Grey skies clouding up the things we used to see with wide eyes
Maybe everything was meant to be this way
Will it ever change
But are we stuck here on our own
It's all gone grey
It's all gone grey
I found telling you the truth the hardest thing to get out
I know it wasn't you that made me feel this way
Will it ever change
Or are we stuck here on our own.
And give it one more try
I don't know if I would stay
I feel so much better now
And baby begging me
Will leave you so empty inside
So you shouldn't even try
I know every last regret inside of me is my own
The way I hold them close has made me be this way
I will never change
I know I'm stuck here on my own, on my own
Given one more try
I don't know if I would stay
I feel so much better now
Where did we go wrong
I know you still hold on to me
But it's time that you let go
I gave you things I had
That I could not get back again
But I'm better off alone
It's all gone grey
It's all gone grey
It's all gone grey
Accidents out on the highway to somewhere
They tell us about when we were young
Rescuers working to clean up the crashes
Before she can see what they've done
Nobody told her she'd lose in the first round
The last fight was fixed from the start
Name's on her side walks
They move through her body
Like razors they cut through her heart
Like razors they cut through her heart
Hey let go
Of all you know
And get fired away now
What have you got to lose
And say out loud
These words I found
I'll be back when you come down
I'll be waiting for you
The night life
The high life
She just wants a good life
So someone remembers her too
But somewhere she heard there was some place to go when
You die when you live like we do
It won't be long now
The music's on loud
We'll sing this song out
And then we'll lie down
Ill hold you close then
Ill let you know when
The space and time bend
And then we'll fall in
Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and one spotlight
One more show one last time
We are ready
Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
Ill look for your eyes
To keep me inside
When everything dies
But one last sunrise
And when we stand there together not scared
I'll dry your last tear
And then we'll just have
Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and not much time
So watch the world burning bright
Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
Say you'll get me before the ending
Take my body set my heart free
Say you'll get me before the ending
Go put on your best tonight
It's you and me and one spotlight
One more show one last time
It won't be long now
Say you will be all around me
When your body sets your heart free
Say you will be all around me
Say you'll get me before the ending
Take my body set my heart free
Say you'll get me before the ending
Say you will be (you won't be long)
The whole world was sleeping
And I was there
You could just sense this feeling in the air
Like no one's words were good enough to define what we feared
And no one's words were strong enough to fix what happened here
Lead on to save me
Lead us all there
Find me some answers
One nation beware
Can't tell the difference between myth and man
Or what's necessary or where I should stand
The whole world is different now men have died
They can just sense this feeling in our eyes
Like no one's hands are big enough to hold onto this fear
And no one's hands are strong enough to fix what happened here
So do we do now
Raise our voices loud
Were searching for something that cannot be found
Here open mouths
I see open hands
Blinded and silent I can't understand
The whole word is watching with one blank stare
I can just sense this feeling of ill-repair
Like no one's heart is full enough to keep away this fear
And no one's heart is strong enough to fix what happened here
Lead on to save me
Lead us all there
Find me some answers
It's time that you shared
Can't tell the difference between myth and man
Or what's necessary or where I should stand
So do we tell now
Raise our voices loud
We're searching for something that cannot be found
I hear open mouths
And I see open hands
Do you remember when I said you were my only one
We were running underneath the California sun
Well now i look at you and you're still more than I can take
You're like a slow song starting to accelerate.
And all my life, I looked for you
For arms that I could fall into.
chorus:
All I can think about is you and me driving
With a Saves The Day record on
We were singing till our voices were gone
And I was falling hard
You were barely hanging on.
And now I wanna chase forever down
With you around.
You're making movies in your head when you fall asleep
Having nightmares, dreaming that I'm gonna leave
I know you've always been afraid of ending up alone,
Somebody heard you, now you're waiting on a dial tone
But I'm right here, so don't get blue
It's not just you, I need this too.
chorus:
All I can think about is you and me driving
With a Saves The Day record on
We were singing till our voices were gone
And I was falling hard
You were barely hanging on.
And now i wanna chase forever down
With you around.
We were running underneath the California sun,
Underneath the California sun.
chorus:
All I can think about is you and me driving
With a Saves The Day record on
We were singing till our voices were gone
We put our record on
We kept singing till our voices were gone
And I was falling hard
You were barely hanging on
And now I wanna chase forever down
I've spent all of my time on the road
Sleeping my days away but you should know
That I'm reflecting on who I've let go
The people I've hurt in ways I'll never know
And I never meant to be hurtful to you
Please don't hate me
All I can say I did, All I could do
Please don't hate me for this
I've spent all of my nights wide awake
Wishing for some kind of poison to take
So that my conscience would just take a break
I am so tired of the noise that it makes
I'm guilty enough without hearing it twice
Please don't hate me
You won't give it up but it's all in your eyes
Please don't hate me for this
I've spent every second I've had
Counting the minutes and I'm going mad
I am redefining the words I am sad
Nothing I've done ever hurt quite this bad
And I'm sure that I will heal faster than you
Please don't hate me
I don't expect you to know what to do
Please don't hate me
When we're old men we will not be alone
Jimmy wasn't really popular
He had a couple of friends back home
And sooner or later they're all getting out so he had to join up alone
He was dreaming of the Ivy League since he was only three feet tall
And get the hell out of jersey and then he would never look back at all
And then your hear 'em say
That miles away
We lost another one that we sent with a gun
They're gonna miss him he was two weeks from twenty and there's still no shame
From the man to blame
Jimmy never had a reason to stay
Cos all the factories shut down
All he had was a line for his name
So he could sign away his right to be proud
He tried to kiss her on the way out the door,
She just put her little hand on his face
I don't understand why you're leaving, she said
But I hope your gonna ask me to wait
And then your hear 'em say
That miles away
We lost another one that we sent with a gun
His lady missed him, he was two weeks from twenty and there's still no shame
From the man to blame
Jimmy's mother went to Capitol Hill
So she could fill her heart up with joy
Maybe shake a few hands while she's there and tell them thank you sir for taking my boy.
And then your hear 'em say
That miles away
We lost another one that we sent with a gun
His mama missed him he was two weeks from twenty and there's still no shame
From the man to blame
No there's still no shame
And we're all to blame
We're all to blame
We're all to blame
We're all to blame
Trembling, hold me now
I'm torn between silence and violent expression
tired of believing everyone wants to care
and cherish someone I'm so scared of never having anyone
Haunted by my abandoned dreams
Tiny voices where would be screams
Now be still, it won't be long
We will be together in search of a new life
Striving as one in this world to find something pure
I'm missing you now
I'm quite sure
are you there? putting all the words together,
painting your new masterpiece
ocean air carrying reminders of that perfect pair
we used to be
someday everything ends, can we begin finding out
before we're too late lost in between, the truth and the dream
i never been more ready to move on
changing keys, giving up on me to find familiar things
and try blending in, know this piece i will not forget the sound of you and me
when we were friends
someday everything ends, can we begin finding out
before we're too late lost in between, the truth and the dream
i never been more ready to move on
bring walls down, hear all my sound
let me back in, love me again
bring walls down, hear all my sound
let me back in, love me again, yeah
bring walls down, hear all my sound
I've been here a while
Staring at this screen wondering what I'll write
Things I can't explain
But should've tried to say when I had the time
You were inspiration
When no one else believed
You showed me strength in my skin
That no one else could see
Let's just keep driving on
All the stars jumping in through the windows
Let's go where we belong
Headed fast as we can for the unknown
I remember how
Like a telescope you could always find
(You could always find)
Something worth a wish
You said every day's a gift and we'll be alright
(We'll be alright)
And something took you from me
I can't understand why
But wherever you're resting
(I'm carrying)
I'm carrying your line
Let's just keep driving on
All the stars jumping in through the windows
Let's go where we belong
Headed fast as we can for the unknown
You can stay there
And it's not fair
Those were the days when we laughed all the while
When the fireflies
Lit up our skies
Those were the nights when the world made us smile
My only hope
You're my telescope
My only hope
You're my telescope
My only hope
You're my telescope
My only hope
You're my telescope
(Let's just keep driving on)
(Let's go where we belong)
Let's just keep driving on
All the stars jumping in through the windows
Let's go where we belong
Headed fast as we can for the unknown
You can stay there
And it's not fair
Those were the days when we laughed all the while
When the fireflies
Lit up our skies
Those were the nights when the world made us smile
My only hope
You're my telescope
(My only hope
You're my telescope)
My only hope
You're my telescope
(My only hope)
My only hope
Get up face this day
Find some way to make the mean kids pay
Playing it safe, it's your morals at stake
You're a young man who's willing to wage war
Break from the mold, never do what your told
After all what are feelings of rage for
So I say, I got a sureshot way to work things out
All of this arguing has worn you down
I got a sureshot way to kill your doubts
Find what your following and chase it down
Get up, face this year
days will fade with all your childhood fears
All of the nights, all of the friends and the fights
You're a young man, who's burning to break free
Here are your rights and your name's up in lights
Don't abuse be the best that you can be
Bye mom and dad, you're all I had
I'm finding out I'm on my own, I am all alone
Break from the mold
I've got a sureshot way to work things out
all of this growing up has worn you down
I've got a sureshot way to kill your doubts
He likes vampires and hit list radio
But turns it off when he hears this one song he knows
And you breathe the windows down
You're driving I-4 as you make your way back home
You ride in silence because he will not let go
And you breathe the windows down
It's a new place that you have found
I've been up late writing books
All about heroes and crooks
One of them saves you from this
The other one steals you and then, sure, things, fall
And all sure things fall.
Do you remember how we used to get so high
It didn't work at first we tried it two more times
And we could breathe the windows down
I was thinking of the temperature outside
Cool like the water that was running from our eyes
And we could breathe the windows down
It's a new place that we had found
He can take you all the way to church this time
But don't forget you summed it up in 15 lines
I've been up late writing books
All about heroes and crooks
One of them saves you from this
The other one steals you
Of all of the places I looked
And all of the pictures I took
One of them's here with me now
I'm finally finding out how, sure, things, fall
I've watched the world go by
outside a window I still can't believe
where I am now
It's been forever long
Adventures come and gone
and i'm left alone
but not let down
'Cause I have found a gravity
A voice that pulls me to my needs
Telling me remember where you're from
This southern air is all I need
Breathe it in and I can see
Camera sets behind my eyes
All the colors of my life
This southern air is in my lungs
Listen every word i've sung
It seems the only truth I know
This will always be home
I thought about the day
When I could truly say i'm better now here I am
'Cause I have left this gravity grab a hold and carry me
and I will not
Forget where I am from
Forget where I am from
This southern air is all I need
Breathe it in and I can see
Camera sets behind my eyes
All the colors of my life
This southern air is in my lungs
listen every word i've sung
seems the only truth I know
this will always be home
always be home
always be home
The sun lays down inside the ocean, i'm right where I belong
Feel the air and salts on my skin the future's coming on
And after living through these wild years coming out alive
I just want to lay my head here and stop running for a while
This southern air is all I need
Breathe it in and I can see
Camera sets behind my eyes
All the colors of my life
This southern air is in my lungs
Listen every word i've sung
Seems the only truth I know
This will always be home
Always be home
Always be home
This will always be home
This southern air is in my lungs
Listen every word i've sung
Seems the only truth I know
We seem to have the world
Here in our hands
It's smaller than we thought it was and now I understand
Some of us survive
Some will get torn
If I lose my confidence I'll borrow yours
See me now
Here me out
Look for me tonight
And swear that nothing's gonna break our hearts this time
Save me from myself
Be the soundtrack to these stories that I tell
Take every single year
From then until now
Fables start to change and my head reaches through the clouds
When I'm standing trial
I will need you
Cause every wish we made is finally coming true
See me now
Here me out
Look for me tonight
And swear that nothing's gonna break our hearts this time
Save me from myself
Be the soundtrack to these stories that I tell
Mirrors show me upside down
Clocks are counting backwards
Here without you I could drown
You pull me to the surface
Ticking time is running out
But we've got symphonies still
Left inside us
Look for me tonight
And swear that nothing's gonna break our hearts this time
Save me from myself
Be the soundtrack to these stories that I tell
Save me from myself
I took a flight headed North
I wasn't waiting anymore
And there I was hoping high
If I could only make you mine
I was safe
In my fortress alone
Then you came
And tore it all down
I wanted to show you
The depth of this dream
The one where I see you
And fall finally
But you're like the winters
That you've always known:
Warm on the inside, while I
Sleep in the Snow
I took a flight headed home
And maybe now we'll never know
But I would lose everything
If it would bring you back to me
I was safe
In my fortress alone
Then you came
And tore it all down
I wanted to show you
The depth of this dream
The one where I see you
And fall finally
But you're like the winters
That you've always known:
Warm on the inside, while I
Sleep in the Snow
(Ooooh, oooh)
(Ooooh, oooh)
(Ooooh, oooh)
I've always run right through
The moments that count
But somehow with you I slow down
(Ooooh, oooh)
And what ever happened
That drove you away?
I know now I can't make you stay
I wanted to show you
The depth of this dream
The one where I see you
And fall finally
But you're like the winters
That you've always known:
Warm on the inside, while I
Wanted to show you
All of my dreams
Things that I buried
And no one could see
But you're like the winters
That you've always known:
Warm on the inside, while I
Sleep in the Snow
You think
You can leave
Me here
But I know
You'll be back
Next year
You think
You can leave
Me here
But I know
You'll be back
If I could then I'd,
Shrink the world tonight,
So that I would find,
You and me inside.
A life in love,
A picture of,
A place I'm nowhere near.
A bleeding heart,
A good head start,
To anywhere but here.
Just let me out,
Please let me out,
Before I turn into a box of things,
Reminding me,
How much I'm missing out. (I am missing you.)
If I could then I'd,
Shrink the world tonight,
So that I would find,
You and me inside.
Of the last good scene,
A film that changes things.
Breaks us, makes us sing,
Leaves us wondering.
And through the wall my fist you call and then you always run.
So what's it for, the love and war, it's only fair for some.
You saved the girl you saved the world,
Well that's not true it seems.
A lesson learned, speak out of turn,
I bite my tongue it bleeds. (Bite my tongue it bleeds)
If I could then I'd
Shrink the world tonight
So that I would find
You and me inside.
Of the last good scene,
A film that changes things.
Breaks us, makes us sing,
Leaves us wondering. Are you wondering?
If I could then I'd
Shrink the world tonight
So that I would find
You and me inside.
Of the last good scene,
A film that changes things.
Breaks us, makes us sing,
Leaves us wondering.
If I could shrink the world tonight.
1-2-3-4
Like a Saturday night I'll be gone
Like a Saturday night I'll be gone
before you knew that I was there
So you wrote it down
I'm supposed to care
Even though it's never there
Sorry if I'm not prepared
Is it hard to see the things you substitute
For me and all my thoughts of you
It's eating me alive to leave you
Maybe it's childish and maybe it's wrong
But so is your blank stare in lieu of this song
Maybe it's childish and maybe it's wrong
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be wrong
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be wrong
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song
I'm breathing in your skin tonight
Quiet is my loudest cry
Wouldn't wanna wake the eyes that make me melt inside
And if it's healthier to leave you be
may a sickness come and set me free
Kill me while I still believe that you were meant for me
I'm finding my own words, my own little stage
my own epic drama, my own scripted page
I'll send you the rough draft, I'll seal it with tears
Maybe you'll read it and I'll reappear
From the start it was shaky and the characters rash,
A nice setting for heartache where emotions come last
All I have deep inside, to overcome this desire
are friendly intentions and fair-weather smiles
And I don't wanna be, don't wanna be wrong
you're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song
Don't wanna be, don't wanna be wrong
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song
Like Saturday night I'll be gone
Like Saturday night I'll be gone
Like Saturday night I'll be gone
Left the ground in black and white
And when the plane went down
The colors all around
I know by now, the marching slide
And still I can't get out, she's all I think about
Can't let her go, it's who you know
We came down to watch the world walk by
And all she found was trouble in my eyes
From the sky, she pulled me down tonight
Let her go, let her go
She moves fast
Takes control and like a heart attack
I know I can't turn back
And time just passed, nights moved slow
And she was all I had, I thought I'd never last
Can't let her go, it's who you know
We came down to watch the world walk by
And all she found was trouble in my eyes
From the sky, she pulled me down tonight
Let her go
Let her go
We came down to watch the world walk by
And all she found was trouble in my eyes
From the sky, she pulled me down tonight
She calls out the farther that I fly
I love that sound so give me one more line
And from the sky she pulled me down tonight
Let her go, let her go
Joking every year
It's an anniversary
You spoke and made it clear
You're the only one you'll ever need
But now you're starting to notice
Without me, it comes into focus
Nothing you'll be
Will stop you missing me
So fill your life with promises
That we'll never have to keep
And I know someday you'll be wishing you kept one for me
Take your medicine
If it helps to let me go
Dissolve the guilt and then
Tell yourself you're better off alone
Searching for something
(Searching for something)
Tell me, how is that working out?
Nothing you'll be
Will stop you missing me
So fill your life with promises
That you'll never have to keep
And I know someday you'll be wishing you kept one for me
Nothing you'll be
Will stop you missing me
So fill your life with promises
That you'll never have to keep
Nothing you'll be
Will stop you missing me
So fill your life with promises
That you'll never have to keep
Let's burn a hole so we can climb out
Of these paper walls and this empty house
Don't listen too close, their words are like guns
With bullets that fly and kill what you've won
Let's burn a hole so we can climb out
Of these paper walls and this empty house
We're the only thing that's real
These visions we have of ten years ago
Of stars in the sky and us down below
With streets and East Coast lines
We kept this scene alive
Here I am, still hold on to this
Dream we had, won't let go of it
Hear me now, you will never be alone
Don't listen too close, their words are like guns
With bullets that fly and kill what you've won
Some love to hate and some tell you lies
So let's make a toast and kiss them goodbye
We'll kiss them all goodbye
Here I am, still hold on to this
Dream we had, won't let go of it
Hear me now, you will never be alone
Here I stand, won't turn back again
Won't leave you, know how hard it's been
Hear me now, you will never be alone, yeah
Let's take what hurts and write it all down
On these paper walls and this empty house
And when our ink runs out, we'll burn it to the ground
Here I am, still hold on to this
Dream we had, won't let go of it
Hear me now, you will never be alone
Here I stand, won't turn back again
Won't leave you, know how hard it's been
Broken this fragile thing now
And I can't, I can't pick up the pieces
And I've thrown my words all around
But I can't, I can't give you a reason
I feel so broken up and I give up
I just want to tell you so you know
Here I go, scream my lungs out
And try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go but there's just no one
That gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one
I've made my mistakes, lead you down
And I can't, I can't hold on for too long
Ran my whole life in the ground
And I can't, I can't get up when you're gone
And something's breaking up
I feel like giving up
I won't walk out untill you know
Here I go, scream my lungs out
And try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go but there's just no one
That gets me like you do
You are my only, my only one
Here I go, so dishonestly
Leave a note for you, my only one
And I know you can see right though me
So let me go and you will find someone
Here I go, scream my lungs out
And try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go but there's just no one
No one like you
You are my only, my only one
My only one, my only one
My only one
Well i'm on the brink, of something horrible
Just what it is I’m not to sure
But I can’t take it anymore (round 1 fight)
I can’t explain the feeling that I feel,
I’m not even sure that they’re for real
Doesn’t work to end in sour tales
Go to sleep so I can wake up
Wondering why things are this way
What the fuck did I say?
To make you hate me any way
I'm on the brink, I lost my self control
I didn’t think that this would happen to me anymore
Just want to be a babe for once
I can’t explain the feelings that I feel,
I’m not even sure if they’re for real
Doesn’t work to end in sour tales
Go to sleep so I can wake up
Wondering why things are this way
What the fuck did I say?
Warm October nights
You came and cuddled next to me baby yeah yeah yeah
Our noses brushed so close
I wished it was our souls
Drifting off to sleep
I could hear the little snores you made
watching eyes shut tight
Like doors to something sweeter where you rest
Tear me off a piece of blanket
keep me warm and we can make it
Here's my heart, I'll let you break it
Touched your skin and I can't take it
Light will creep in soon
And I still haven't slept a wink baby yeah yeah yeah
I wish the sun would hide its head
So I could watch you dream some more
Wish the sun would hide its head,
So I could watch you dream some more.
I wanna watch you dream some more
I wanna watch you dream some more
I wanna watch you dream some more
I wanna watch you dream some more girl
I wanna watch you dream some more
I wanna watch you
I wanna watch you dream some more
I wanna watch you dream some more girl
I wanna watch you dream some more
I wanna watch you
Tear me off a piece of blanket
keep me warm and we can make it
Here's my heart, I'll let you break it
If I could I would do all of this again
Travel back in time with you to where this all began
We could hide inside ourselves and leave the world behind
And make believe there's something left to find
We'll be miles apart
I'll keep you deep inside
You're always in my heart
A new life to start
I may be leaving but you're always in my heart
Now we've all grown up, gone on and moved away
Nothing I can do about it, nothing I can say
To bring us back to where we were when life was not this hard (life was not this hard)
Looking back it all just seems so far, so far away
We'll be miles apart
I'll keep you deep inside
You're always in my heart
A new life to start
I may be leaving but you're always in my heart
I'd give it up for just one more day with you
Give it up for just one more day
I'd give it up for just one more day with you
I'd give it up for just one more day with you
Give it up for just one more day
I'd give it up for just one more day with you
I'd give it up for just one more day with you
Give it up, give it all away
I'd give it up for just one more day with you
We'll be miles apart
I'll keep you deep inside
You're always in my heart
A new life to start
I may be leaving but you're always in my heart
I need you now, we're miles apart
I'll keep you deep inside
You're always in my heart
I need you now, we're miles apart
You're making a choice to live like this
And all of the noise, I am silence
We already know how it ends tonight
You run in the dark through a firefight
And I would explode just to save your life
Yeah, I would explode
Let me light up the sky
Light it up for you
Let me tell you why
I would die for you
Let me light up the sky
I can't find a wall to pin this to
They're all coming down since I've found you
I just wanna be where you are tonight
I run in the dark looking for some light
And how will we know if we just don't try?
We won't ever know
Let me light up the sky
Light it up for you
Let me tell you why
I would die for you
Let me light up the sky
Light it up for you
Let me make this mine
I'll ignite for you
Let me light up the sky just for you tonight
Let me help you fly 'cause you won't have time
To cover your eyes or get your disguise
They won't ask you why, they'll just watch you die
And it's still so hard to be who you are
So you play this part and the show goes on
But you've come this far with a broken heart
Yeah, you've come this far and you're broken
Let me light up the sky
Light it up for you
Let me tell you why
I would die for you
Let me light up the sky
Light it up for you
Let me make this mine
I'll ignite for you
I'll ignite for you
Let me light up the sky
Light it up for you
Let me tell you why
I would die for you
And it's still so hard to be who you are
But you've come this far with a broken heart
And it's still so hard to be who you are
But you've come this far and you're broken
Light up the sky
What's a Dad for Dad?
Tell me why I'm here Dad?
Whisper in my ear
That I'm growing up to be a better man, Dad
Everything is fine Dad
Proud that you are my Dad
'Cause I know I'm growing up, to be a better man
Father I will always be
That same boy that stood by the sea
And watched you tower over me
Now I'm older and I wanna be the same as you
What's a Dad for Dad?
Taught me how to stand, Dad
Took me by the hand
And you showed me how to be a bigger man, Dad
Listen when you talked, Dad
Follow where you walked, Dad
And you know that I will always, do the best I can, I can
Father I will always be
(Always be)
That same boy that stood by the sea
And watched you tower over me
(Over me)
Now I'm older, I wanna be the same as you
The same as you
Father I will always be
That same boy that stood by the sea
And watched you tower over me
Now I'm older, I wanna be the same as you
Father I will always be
(When I am a Dad, Dad)
(When I am a Dad, Dad)
(I'm gonna be a good Dad)
(I'm gonna be a good Dad)
That same boy that stood by the sea
(Did the best you could, Dad)
(Did the best you could, Dad)
(Always understood, Dad)
(Always understood, Dad)
And watched you tower over me
(Taught me what was right, Dad)
(Taught me what was right, Dad)
(Opened up my eyes, Dad)
(Opened up my eyes, Dad)
Now I'm older, I wanna be the same as you
(Glad to call you my Dad)
(Glad to call you my Dad)
I could tell you the wildest of tales
My friend the giant and traveling sales
Tell you all the times that I failed
The years all behind me
The stories exhaled.
And I'm drying out
Crying out
This isn't how I go
I could tell you of a man not so tall
Who said life's a circus and so we are small
Tell you of a girl that I saw
I froze in the moment and she changed it all
And I'm drying out
Crying out
This isn't how I go
Hurry now
Lay me down
And let these waters flow
Flow...
Son I am not everything you thought that I would be
But every story I have told is part of me
And you keep the air in my lungs
Floating along as a melody comes
And my heart beats like timpani drums
Keeping the time while a symphony strums
And I'm drying out
Crying out
This isn't how I go
Hurry now
Lay me down
And let these waters flow...
Flow....
Let it flow
Let it flow
Son I am not everything you thought that I would be
But every story I have told is part of me
Son I leave you now but you have so much more to do

If I could write to the kid I was before,
I'd tell him you'll get everything you ever wanted,
But you will still want more.
Someone's going to tell you
Who should want to be
So you'll forget the vision that they didn't want to see
And when they give up, cause they will give up say
Here I am alive.
Hook:
They say you don't grow up
You just grow old,
It's safe to say I haven't done both
I made mistakes, I know, I know
But here I am alive.
So many people close to me cut me down,
This is supposed to be a bad luck town
I jumped, I fell, I hit the ground.
But here I am alive.
If I could write to myself
When I was on top of it all,
I'd say you're going overboard
and when you're falling
You're gonna feel so small,
Someone's gonna tell you that you deserve the worst,
They'll say you're never coming back
And tell you that you're cursed.
And when they give up, cause they always give up.
Say, here I am alive.
Hook:
They say you don't grow up
You just grow old,
It's safe to say I haven't done both
I made mistakes, I know, I know
But here I am alive.
So many people close to me cut me down,
This is supposed to be a bad luck town
I jumped, I fell, I hit the ground.
But here I am alive.
(Alive alive alive alive alive)
And when they give up, cause they will give up
Say: Here I am alive!
When they give up, cause they always give up
Say: Here I am alive!
Hook:
They say you don't grow up
You just grow old,
It's safe to say I haven't done both
I made mistakes, I know, I know
But here I am alive.
So many people close to me cut me down,
This is supposed to be a bad luck town
I jumped, I fell, I hit the ground.
But here I am alive.
Here I am alive!
Here I am alive!
Here I am alive!
Here I am alive!
i can not hold this anymore
my hands are tired of only waiting to let go
and I am waiting...still
i used to know which way to turn
you were a light inside a tunnel in my head
i try to follow...still
i try to follow...still
it's hard to see you, we are older now
and when i find you, you just turn around
this is a black and white of you i've found
i hang you up and then i pull you down
i hang you up and then i pull you down
no more apologies from me
my arms are tired of picking up what i put down
you're all i think of...still
i'm gonna miss you everyday
i turn my back on anyone who won't believe
and it gets lonely...still
it gets lonely...still
it's hard to see you, we are older now
and when i find you, you just turn around
this is a black and white of you i've found
i hang you up and then i pull you down
i hang you up and then i pull you down
i get lost sometimes
another year flies by
but i know if i try
memories of the light in your eyes
can take me back in time
it's hard to see you, we are older now
and when i find you, you just turn around
this is a black and white of you i've found
i hang you up and then i pull you down
it's hard to see you we are older now (we are older now)
and when i find you, you just turn around (you turn around)
this is a black and white of you i've found (you i found)
i hang you up and then i pull you down
(pull you down)
i hang you up and then i pull you down
(pull you down)
i hang you up and then i pull you down
(pull you down)
i don't hear music anymore
my ears are tired of all the pictures in the words
You hung me out to dry
(You're no longer by my side)
You said that we're through
(What else can I do)
All those things you said
(I thought you really meant)
Were all just bullshit lies
(No longer by my side)
Miss your long blonde hair, miss your sweet blue eyes
Miss your big blank stare when you're by my side
I lost myself somewhere, somewhere back behind
Gotta help me find myself, no longer by my side
You hung me out to dry
(You're no longer by my side)
You said that we're through
(What else can I do)
All those things you said
(I thought you really meant)
Were all just bullshit lies
(No longer by my side)
Miss your long blonde hair, miss your sweet blue eyes
I even miss your bitching, don't even ask my why
I lost myself somewhere, somewhere back behind
It's 4am, you call to spit some fire out
But did you think that I would listen to you now?
It's nothing new so get in line with all the rest
And I will wait till you realize you're out of breath
Can you hear the crowd? They all go wild
For you and your denial
They're watching you break down(Break Down)
Hate me all you want, I'll be okay
I'm half the world away
I'm letting you go now (Go Now)
You've got sadness twisted up with jealousy
You show your fists to make them look like loyalty
And I have seen what holding on can take away
If it's the past you love then that's where you can stay
Can you hear the crowd? They all go wild
For you and your denial
They're watching you break down (break down)
Hate me all you want, I'll be okay
I'm half the world away
I'm letting you go now (go now)
Go Now (go now)
Desperation kills
But when it's on your sleeve you wear it well
Underneath it all you'll always have this war inside yourself
I'm letting you go now (go now)
Can you hear the crowd?
They all go wild
For you and your denial
They're watching you break down (break down)
Hate me all you want, I'll be okay
I'm half the world away
I'm letting you go now (go now)
Go Now (go now)
Go Now (go now)
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something that you cannot replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try then you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I...
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
Needed some time so I could find
A little strength to redefine
What I've become, what I have done
I never asked to be the one
I'm riding it out
This storm that you brought in
Bringing it down only around
For you I'd go again
It's got to be easy to see
What everyone takes out of me
Knocking me down, dragging me out
How did you end up in that crowd?
Did you run away? Did you fall apart?
Did you see yourself for what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore
When five becomes four?
When you're all alone with the melody
Do you close your eyes and think of me?
Will you still hear me singing anymore
When five becomes four?
Try and put aside
Your history and pride
Maybe for one moment in time
We'll all be on your side
The story goes, nobody knows
What it was like when you were through
Someone who cared out in the air
Didn't let them crash down anywhere
Did you run away? Did you fall apart?
Did you see yourself for what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore
When five becomes four?
When you're all alone with the melody
Do you close your eyes and think of me?
Will you still hear me singing anymore
When five becomes four?
Remember the line 'Never say die'
You were the reason I survived
Where did you go? I need to know
I waited here, you never showed
It's gonna be harder for me
I can't forget so many things
When you were down, I was around
Why would you try and hurt me now?
Just tell me why?
Just tell me why?
Did you run away?
Did you run away?
Did you run away?
Did you run away? Did you fall apart?
Did you see yourself for what you are?
Will you be looking for it anymore
When five becomes four?
When you're all alone with the melody
Do you close your eyes and think of me?
Will you'll still hear me singing anymore
When five becomes four?
When five becomes four
Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that's drifting over me
'Cause when I look you're, you're never there
But when I sleep you're, you're everywhere
You're everywhere
Tell me how I got this far
Tell me why you're here and who you are
'Cause every time I look
You're never there
And every time I sleep
You're always there
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I recognize the way you make me feel
It's hard to think that
You might not be real
I sense it now, the water's getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
And when I touch your hand
It's then I understand
The beauty that's within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
There never comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
You're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
It's you I breathe
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone
You're in everyone I see
So tell me
Said I'd moved on and I'd leave it alone
But before I walk out there is something
That I need you to know
I got lost in a blink of an eye
And I can never get back
No, I never got back
You were not there when I wanted to say
That you were everything right
And it wasn't you but me to change
Now I got to go it alone
But I'll never give up
No, I'll never give up
What am I fighting for?
There must me something more
For all these words I sing
Do you feel anything?
Said I'm okay but I know how to lie
You were all that I had
You were delicate and hard to find
Got lost in the back of my mind
And I can never get back
No, I never got back
You were not there when I needed to say
I hit the bottom so fast
That my head was spinning 'round for days
Now I gotta go it alone
But I will never give up
No, I'll never give up
What am I fighting for?
There must me something more
For all these words I sing
Do you feel anything?
What am I fighting for?
What am I fighting for?
Never give up on this
Never give up on this
Never give up on this
Never give up on this
Said I'm okay but I know how to lie
I will never give up
No, I'll never give up
What am I fighting for?
There must me something more
For all these words I sing
Do you feel anything?
What am I fighting for?
(No, I'm never gonna give up, give up)
What am I fighting for?
(No, I'm never gonna give up, give up)
Said that I'd fight for the one that I've found
I'm gonna stay here while I wait
For you to come around
I’d fight, you're a part of me now
And I will never give up
{Dear Bobbie, do you remember
When you were young and very pretty? I do
I remember pleated skirts, black and white saddle shoes
Do you remember dancing that night? I do
I still think of you when we dance
Although we can?t jitterbug as we did then}
Do you remember when
How long has it been?
Nineteen forty five
You opened my blue eyes
To see a whole new life
Do you remember when
I told you this that night
That if you're by my side
When everyday begins
I'll fall for you again?
I made a promise when
I told you this that night
That I'll be fine
?Cause when I die then I die loving you
It's alright, I'll be fine
When I die then I die loving you
Loving you, loving you
{Do you remember the times
We would give up on each other and get back together
Then we finally was married in nineteen forty nine
We drove the yellow convertible all night long
Do you remember? I do}
Life has led us here
Together all these years
This house that we have made
Holds twenty-thousand days
And memories we've saved
Since life has lead us here
And I'll be fine
?Cause when I die then I die loving you
It's alright, I'll be fine
?Cause when I die then I die loving you
Loving you, loving you
I'm coming home to you
Stepping off my shoes
Resting in my chair
See you standing there
The silver in your hair
I'm coming home to you
When I lay tonight
When I close my eyes
I know the sun will rise
Here or the next life
As long as you?re still mine
Then it's alright, I'll be fine
?Cause when I die then I die loving you
It's alright, I'll be fine
?Cause when I die then I die loving you
Loving you, loving you
{You have gray hair now but you're a, a beautiful women
And the years have been good to both of us
We walk slow now but we still have each other
The glue of love is still bonding us together
That is what I remember, do you remember?}
Is this just a matter of
Me getting what I needed?
Till I was safe upon the other side
Of the international dateline
And it's just a matter of
Me keeping myself seated
Till the pilot killed the overdrive
And landed in a place where you can't
Find me there
Find me there
When you hold one chance
And you break your hands
When the secret's safe
And you call my name
Then I am gone
I'm tired of you and me
(Tired of you and me)
And the space that's in between
(Space that's in between)
And I would rather be somewhere
With better thoughts and warmer air
I'm tired of trying to be
(Tired of trying to be)
Somebody different than me
(Different than me)
I'm tired of trying to shine it on
When the lights go out tonight, I'm gone
I'll run from here
When you hold one chance
And you break your hands
When the secret's safe
And you call my name
When the hurt gets real
And you still can't feel
When you can't escape
And you cannot stay
Then I am gone
Safe upon the other side
Of the international dateline
I landed in a place that you can't find
You can't find me there
You can't find me there
When you hold one chance
And you break your hands
When the secret's safe
And you call my name
When the hurt gets real
(The hurt gets real)
And you still can't feel
(Still can't feel)
When you can't escape
(Can't escape)
And you cannot stay
Then I am gone
Safe upon the other side
Of the international dateline
I landed in a place that you can't find
When the last plane leaves
And you cry for me
When you lie awake
And you feel it break
I can’t keep this together
And I might lose this year
I can’t get through December
And you know all my fears
Someplace somewhere behind me
I walked right through the truth
Truth is that you’re the one thing
That always pulls me through
This troubled life I choose
You are the one that I need
You know that I can still bleed
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
You brought me down from my cloud
You keep my feet on the ground
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
When I thought that I might be invincible
It wasn’t long before I was invisible
To your eyes and I swear
There’s nothing left in here
And the more you say you don’t care
The more I know you’re there
You are the one that I need
You know that I can still bleed
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
You brought down from my cloud
You keep my feet on the ground
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
I can’t keep this together (you are the one that I need)
I can’t stay sick forever (you know that I can still bleed)
I can’t stop this disaster (you bring me down from my cloud)
I can’t fall any faster
You are the one that I need
You know that I can still bleed
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
You are the one that I need
You know that I can still bleed
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
You brought me down from my cloud
You keep my feet on the ground
Bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
You are the one that I need
You know that I can still bleed
You brought me down from my cloud
Watching the days burning out like a cigarette
Just a few drags to go
You built me up and you broke me down
Somehow
Everything just seemed so clear to me
Nothing left to know
I'll love you right and I'll love you pure
Right now
How can you say
That it's too late
To save us now?
And I would wait for you, ooh
If you would wait for me, yeah
I will wait for you, ooh
If you will wait for me, yeah
Intoxicated the edge is serrated
So easily torn from the core
I blushed the first time
But you blushed the last time
My eyes hit your mind
Regenerated these feelings of hatred
I long for your love evermore
You built me up and you broke me down
This time
And I would wait for you, ooh
If you would wait for me, yeah
I will wait for you, ooh
If you will wait for me, yeah
How can you say
That it's too late
To save us now?
This is the deepest cut I,
Think I have ever felt,
These are the things I think but I will never tell.
I'm trying to walk these bridges,
Burning beneath my feet,
Well I am an echo I am heard but never seen.
These are your hearts,
Like bombs they're coming down,
They're falling on me now.
And this my last try,
Got one thing left to prove,
There's a bomber in me too.
This is a mirror image,
Of everything I'm not,
Always reflecting what I've learned but was not taught.
If I could make things different,
If I could press restart,
Then I would hold back every breath that went too far.
These are your hearts,
Like bombs they're coming down,
They're falling on me now.
And this my last try,
Got one thing left to prove,
There's a bomber in me too.
Sometimes I feel like I am working in the dark,
Collecting names collecting all the mending hearts.
And if your one that I have missed along the way,
Then I'm rehearsing all the things I'd like to say.
This isn't easy for me,
This isn't easy.
These are your hearts,
Like bombs they're coming down,
They're falling on me now.
And this my last try,
Got one thing left to prove,
There's a bomber in me too.
These are your hearts,
Like bombs they're coming down ,
They're falling on me now.
And this my last try,
Got one thing left to prove,
Don't know what I was looking for when I went home, I found me alone
And sometimes I need someone to say, "You'll be all right. What's on your mind?"
But the water's shallow here and I am full of fear, and empty handed after two long years
Another sunny day in Californ-i-a
I'm sure back home they'd love to see it
But they don't know that what you love is ripped away
Before you get a chance to feel it
Back home I always thought I wanted so much more, now I'm not too sure
Cause sometimes I miss knowing someone's there for me and feeling free
Free to stand beside the ocean in moonlight
And light myself a smoke beneath the dark Atlantic sky
Another sunny day in Californ-i-a
I'm sure back home they'd love to see it
But they don't know that what you love is ripped away
Before you get a chance, before you get a chance to feel it
Everybody here is living life in fear of falling out of line
Tearing lives apart and breaking lots of hearts just to pass the time
And the eyes get red in the back of your head, this place will make you blind
Put it all behind me and I'll be just fine
Another sunny day beneath this cloudless sky
Sometimes I wish that it would rain here
And wash away the west coast dreaming from my eyes
There's nothing real for them to see here
Another starry night in Californ-i-a
I'm sure back home they'd love to see it
But they don't know that what you love is ripped away
Bottoms up tonight i drink to you and i
'cause with the morning comes the rest of my life
And with this empty glass i will break the past
'cause with the morning i can open my eyes
I want this to be my awakening
I give this one to you an anthem full of truth
I tell you now an epic tail of what you put me through
And even though you don't deserve one of your own
A melody a song about the life that you let go
I can't believe that i still care enough to write
Bottoms up tonight i drink to you and i
'cause with the morning comes the rest of my life
And with this empty glass i will break the past
'cause with the morning i can open my eyes
I want this to be my awakening
Yes i miss you still and probably always will
I'm living with a busted heart that i will have until
I find the streangth i know its somewhere in my bones
So pull the curtain up again and get on with this show
At least you know that i care enough to write
Bottoms up tonight i drink to you and i
'cause with the morning comes the rest of my life
And with this empty glass i will break the past
'cause with the morning i can open my eyes
And maybe i will see a different destiny
Like maybe knowing you at all was only a bad dream
I want this to be my awakening
No rest for the wicked they say
Forgive me if i try to change
No rest for the wicked they say
Forgive me if i try to change
Bottoms up tonight i drink to you and i
'cause with the morning comes the rest of my life
And with this empty glass i will break the past
'cause with the morning i can open my eyes
And maybe i will see a different destiny
Like maybe knowing you at all was only a bad dream
If you're gonna rip my heart out
Could you use a knife that's dull
And rust in color
Once I die
There will be no way that you can cover
That scar. It's hard, I know.
And if I get a little blood on, you
Finally the world will know you're guilty
Know you're wrong
Of taking everything you're gotten from me
No heart. It's hard, I know.
Mighty King of Avondale
I just can't let this go
Real life ain't no fairytale
I just thought you should know
And when you're finished with the surgery, I
Really hope that you will turn to me, and
Tell me all about the fun you had
When you were cuttin up
You were cuttin up
Living like a fairytale
The Mighty King of Avondale
It all went to his head, this royalty
I stuck a knife into his back
Inventiveness is what I lack
What else should I be
All apologies
What else should I say
Everyone is gay
What else should I write
I don't have the right
What else should I be
All apologies
In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
Married
Buried
I wish I was like you
Easily amused
Find my nest of salt
Everything is my fault
I'll take all the blame
Aqua seafoam shame
Sunburn with freezeburn
Choking on the ashes of her enemy
In the sun
In the sun I feel as one
In the sun
In the sun
Married
Buried
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Lie in this empty bed
With this aching head
You left me here this morning
Now I can't remember why
I let you in again
To get under my skin
And every time you disappear
I remember
How I look for you
But I can't see your face
And then I hear you
The only thing you say...
I am afraid right now
I don't wanna let you down
And I am the one who can't be saved
The only thing I say
I am afraid right now
What if I can't get out?
What if I don't want to be saved?
This is me afraid
Now there's no place like home
To make me feel alone
I see you everywhere I am
And I remember how you ran out to hide
You kept me close behind
Following your every move so I remember
I look for you
But I can't see your face
And then I hear you
The only thing you say...
I am afraid right now
I don't wanna let you down
And I am the one who can't be saved
The only thing I say
I am afraid right now
What if I can't get out?
What if I don't want to be saved?
This is me afraid
I look for you
But I can't see your face
Then I hear you
The only thing you say is
Don't look for me
Cause you will never say
You won't hear me
You won't hear me
Why do we keep this up?
Why do we live like us?
When there is nothing left to save
Will you be afraid?
I am afraid right now
You already let me down
You are the one who can't be saved
If only I could say
I am afraid right now
You never will get out
You'll never let yourself be saved
You are so afraid
Let me say this first
I was on your side
Before the war began
My gloves came off when the ring went
On, and on, and on
You can tune me out
You can turn me down
And try to cut me off
But you will not stop me singing
On, and on, and on
For a while you danced with us and
We were all alone
But the beat kept getting faster
And you lost control
I want you to know I'm
Not sorry at all
You can't buy forgiveness
Or blame me for the fall
All I ever wanted was
For us to beat the odds
I thought we were lucky ones
But all your luck is gone
You're a vicious kind
'Cause you've lived this life
Where you're allowed to win
Even when you're long, you still keep
On, and on, and on
So I think it's time
That we said goodbye
'Cause all your talent lies in the way
You're always moving
On, and on, and on
Oh, the beat kept getting faster
And you lost control
I want you to know I'm
Not sorry at all
You can't buy forgiveness
Or blame me for the fall
All I ever wanted was
For us to beat the odds
I thought we were lucky ones
But all your luck is gone
Oh, the beat kept getting faster
And you lost control
I want you to know I'm
Not sorry at all
You can't buy forgiveness
Or blame me for the fall
I want you to know I'm
Not sorry at all
You can't buy forgiveness
Or blame me for the fall
All I ever wanted was
For us to beat the odds
I thought we were lucky ones
One more trip down
To the lost and found
To find your heart that the
Quarterback punk dropped on the ground
One more trip down
To the lost and found
To find your heart
Left out
The one they picked last for the big ball game
Beat up after class
No doubt
You'll show them one day
You are not the same
You won't be the last one anymore
One long walk down
Through the hallways now
You're finding out
That you don't fit in this time around
One long walk down
Through the hallways now
I think I'm breaking out
I'm gonna leave you now
There's nothing for me here, it's all the same
And even though I know
That everything might go
Go downhill from here, I'm not afraid
Way away away from here I'll be
Way away away so you can see
How it feels to be alone and not believe (Feels to be alone and not believe)
Feels to be alone and not believe anything
You can't stop me now
You can't hold me down
You can't keep me here, I'm on my way
I've made it this far now
And I'm not burning out
No matter what you say, I'm not afraid
Way away away from here I'll be
Way away away so you can see
How it feels to be alone and not believe (Feels to be alone and not believe)
Feels to be alone and not believe anything
Letting out the noise inside of me (Letting out the noise inside of me)
Every window pane is shattering (Every window pane is shattering)
Cutting up my words before I speak (Cutting up my words)
This is how it feels to not believe
Letting out the noise inside of me (Letting out the noise inside of me)
Every window pane is shattering (Every window pane is shattering)
Cutting up my words before I speak (Cutting up my words)
This is how it feels to not believe
Way away away from here I'll be
Way away away so you can see
How it feels to be alone and not believe (feels to be alone and not believe)
Lately I've found
You're bringing me down
And I can't stand to see me this way
I'll stick around but I wont make a sound
You already know what I'd say
I'd say you want to hit me where it hurts the most
To get me lyin' down And I'm on to you
Nothing ever works out like it should
Quiet on the front
The sky dropped the sun
It fell down on our faces again
I tried to run
You could see what I'd done
Now it's wearing off, wearing thin
Now where, out there
You be full of you enough to think I'm waiting up
And I'm onto you
And nothing ever works out like it should
Light in her eyes
Light in her eyes
Light in her eyes
Light in her eyes
Light in her eyes
I'm changing trains the station remains
Footsteps in the stairwell echo
I lost track of days
I found thousands of ways
But how to quit you, nobody knows
So leave me, you're free
It's three flights down to happiness
Make sure you close the door
And I'm onto you
Nothing ever works out like it should
Light in her eyes
Light in her eyes
Light in her eyes
Light in her eyes
Light in her eyes
(2, 3, 4)
Mmmmm
Mmmmm
I found out in the fall. I've been gone
On the road for a year
She said,
"Honey, I've got real bad news" and
Then there were just tears
And we would never be the same again
Since then I've often wondered
What you might have been like
How it would have felt to hold you,
Would you have my eyes?
Don't you think we would've been best friends?
You would be ten and I'd be
Driving you to school
You would tell all your friends
That you thought I was cool
And you would have
All the love in my heart
Yeah, you would have
All the love in my heart
We were twenty-two years young then
Breaking rules all around
We were
Moving in that first apartment
It felt like it was never gonna end
Both so lost and crazy
We were young so we ran
Now I live in a dream where I am
Holding your little hands
I never got to meet you, my best friend
You would be ten and I'd be
Driving you to school
You would tell all your friends
That you thought I was cool
You would be out in the sun
Until it was gone
You would be watching Star Wars
With your PJ's on
And you would have
All the love in my heart
Yeah, you would have
All the love in my heart
Mmmmm
Mmmmm
Don't you think we would have been best friends?
You would be ten and I'd be
Driving you to school
You would tell all your friends
That you thought I was cool
You would be out in the sun
Until it was gone
You would be watching Star Wars
With your PJ's on
You would be playing tunes on
On your first guitar
You would be harmony to
Every single part of me
And you have
All the love in my heart
Yeah, you would have
All the love in my heart
Mmmmm
This is a story full of restless nights
Of do or do not 'cause there is no try
Across a decade we flew high and we fell low
And getting up when we're dragged down is all we've known
We were born to be the ones
To show the faithless what we've done
And there's a fire inside
We were born to be the ones
To show the faithless what we've done
And there's a fire inside
It burns like the surface of the sun
Here in this Angel City lights will shine
(Lights will shine)
And for a while we let ourselves go blind
(Inaudible)
But now we know who loves and loves us not
And they're worth every good thing we have lost
(Oooh! )
We were born to be the ones
To show the faithless what we've done
And there's a fire inside
(Born to be)
We were born to be the ones
To show the faithless what we've done
And there's a fire inside
It burns like the surface of the sun
We were born to be the ones
And burn like the surface of the sun
(Oooh! )
To show the faithless what we've done
(Oooh! )
And burn like the surface of the sun
And all the million miles to go
Not over yet, not even close
We were born to be the ones
To show the faithless what we've done
And there's a fire inside
We were born to be the ones
To show the faithless what we've done
And there's a fire inside
It burns like the surface of the sun
(Oooh! )
We were born to be the ones
(Oooh! )
And burn like the surface of the sun
(Oooh! )
To show the faithless what we've done
(Oooh! )
i can see all the footsteps left behind,
every second i gave!
every song was a snapshot of my life
i needed something to say!
i started out in a last slow motion scene,
watching everyone change!
made one road from here,
i had no reason to stay!
chorus:
i am awake and alive
there is something calling me!
more than a moment in time,
it's a dream i'm following on my own,
on my own, on my own!
more than a moment in time,
it's a life i've lived!
think of me when the stars come out tonight,
take a look at the sky!
never said that i could burn out that
but i needed it to try!
chorus:
i am awake and alive
there is something calling me!
more than a moment in time,
it's a dream i'm following on my own,
on my own, on my own!
more than a moment in time,
it's a life i've lived!
the day that i found my voice
i knew that i had no choice look at me, and listen close
so i can tell you how i feel before i go
just a year it's not much time
for me to show you i am proud that you are mine
i wish i had known the future in my heart
was just about to start
say tomorrow i can't follow you there
just close your eyes and sing for me
i will hear you, always near you
and i'll give you the words, just sing for me
every lock on every door, i put them there to try and hide you from the world
and you kicked yeah you screamed
you never understood you're everything to me
i just hope you know, the future in your heart
is just about to start
say tomorrow i can't follow you there
just close your eyes and sing for me
i will hear you, always near you
and i'll give you the words, just sing for me
looking back when i am gone
sing for me, follow your heart it's never wrong, sing for me
looking back when i am gone
sing for me, don't second guess to know you're all
out of time, oh out of fight
you are the only thing in life that i got right
say tomorrow i can't follow you there
just close your eyes and sing for me
i will hear you, always near you
and i'll give you the words, just sing for me
just close your eyes and sing for me, sing for me
just close your eyes and sing for me.
the only way i ever learn some love
..if i found it on my own!
on my own!
chorus:
i am awake and alive
there is something calling me!
more than a moment in time,
it's a dream i'm following on my own,
on my own, on my own!
more than a moment in time,
t he sun comes up and you are all over my mind
You're in my brain before I can open my eyes
As I go on without you
My heartbeat wont slow down
I need you back like I need air to breath this out
All I can do is keep you closer now
'Cause I know your somewhere out there looking down
Wherever you are (Wherever you are)
I hope you can see me smiling
The sky gets dark, I watch the water here at home
It's 10 years now and I'm still learning to let go
I'ts not the same without you
Theres no one keeping time
You were the rhythm that was bringing us to life
All I can do is keep you closer now
'Cause I know you're somewhere out there looking down
Wherever you are (Wherever you are)
I hope you can see me smiling now (I hope you can see me smiling)
Sometimes I can't help think that I have you right behind me all this time
If only you could have a chance to see
All the happiness you gave to me
All I can do is keep you closer now
'Cause I know you're somewhere out there looking down
Wherever you are
I hope you can see me smiling now (I hope you can see me smiling)
Here I go again
Another leap of faith
I close my eyes and wait to fall
I see a future in which I will soon become
The only truth you know at all
You wanna know what I'm thinking
I think about back then
Back when we built something new
The world was ours to conquer
And we were not afraid to lose ourselves
Somewhere inside this, you changed
And I could never follow you that way
I miss you madly and it's raining on the coast
I'm supposed to say "this was your loss", and "I'm fine"
I stare for hours at these numbers in my hand
But ringing you would mend your heart, and break mine
You wanna know what I'm thinking
I think about back then
Back when we built something new
The world was ours to conquer
And we were not afraid to lose ourselves
Somewhere inside this, you changed
And I could never follow you that way
(Sometimes I dream)
We laugh 'til we cry
(With smoke in our eyes)
Just like old times
Never again
That was back then
Back when we built something new
The world was ours to conquer
And we were not afraid to lose ourselves
Somewhere inside this, you changed
And I could never follow you that way
Somewhere inside this, you changed
Get down make love
Get down make love
Get down make love
Get down make love -
You take my body -
I give you heat
You say your hungry
I give you meat
I suck your mind
You blow my head
Make love -
Inside your bed - everybody get down make love,
Get down make love -
Get down make love
Get down make love -
Everytime I get hot
You wanna cool down
Everytime I get high
You say you wanna come down
You say it's enough
In fact it's too much.
Everytime I get a - Get down, get down,
Make love -
I can squeeze - You can shake me
I can feel - when you break me
Come on so heavy - when you take me -
You make love, you make love, you make love, you make love
You can make everybody get down make love,
Get down make love
Everytime I get high
You wanna cool down
Everytime I get hot
You say you wanna come down
You say it's enough
In fact it's too much
Everytime I wanna, get down, get down get down -
Get down make love
Get down make love
Get down make love
Sew this up with threads of reason and regret
So I will not forget. I will not forget
How this felt one year six months ago
I know I cannot forget. I cannot forget
I'm falling into memories of you and things we used to do
Follow me there
A beautiful somewhere
A place that I can share with you
I can tell that you don't know me anymore
It's easy to forget, sometimes we just forget
And being on this road is anything but sure
Maybe we'll forget, I hope we don't forget
I'm falling into memories of you and things we used to do
Follow me there
A beautiful somewhere
A place that I can share with you
So many nights, legs tangled tight
Wrap me up in a dream with you
Close up these eyes, try not to cry
All that I've got to pull me through is memories of you
Memories of you
Memories of you
Memories of you
I'm falling into memories of you and things we used to do
Follow me there
A beautiful somewhere
A place that we can share
I can see all the footsteps left behind
every second i gave
every song was a snapshot of my life
and needed something to say.
i started out in the last slow motion scene
watching everyone change
made a map of the one-way road from here
had no reason to stay.
i am awake and alive
there is something calling me
more than a moment in time
it's a dream i'm following on my own (on my own)
more than a moment in time
it's a life of leaving home.
think of me when the stars come out tonight
take a look at the sky
never said that i could burn out that pride
but i needed to try.
i am awake and alive
there is something calling me
more than a moment in time
it's a dream i'm following on my own (on my own)
more than a moment in time
it's a life of leaving home.
the day that i found my voice
i knew that i had no choice
the only way i ever learned to love
is if i found it on my own
on my own!!
i am awake and alive
there is something calling me
more than a moment in time
it's a dream i'm following on my own (on my own)
more than a moment in time
Haven't heard from you in days
I'm spreading thin what I've got saved
And I've come down from your highest times
Now what the hell am I supposed to say
Whoa, I know it feels like I've let you down,
But I'm still around (still around)
If you can find a way to reach me
Take your time I could be underneath you
Looking up to see you
From where we used to hide
From where we used to hide
Busy writing thoughts tonight
A message sent with no reply
You used to hang on my every word
Now they never come out right
Whoa, I know it feels like I let you down
But I'm still around (still around)
If you can find a way to reach me
Take your time I could be underneath you
Looking up to see you
From where we used to hide
From where we used to hide
You are invisible in this (you are invisible in this)
Too caught in what you missed (caught up in what you missed)
So spend what I gave I'll give you more
You are invisible in this
If you can find a way to reach me
Take your time I could be underneath you
Looking up to see you
From where we used to hide
From where we used to hide
If you can find a way to reach me
Take your time I could be underneath you
Looking up to see you
From where we used to hide
woohoohoohoo for the longest time
woohoohoo for the longest time
if you'd say goodbye to me tonight
there would still be music left to write
what else could I do
I'm so inspired by you
you haven't been there for the longest time
if you say that i'm the one that's wrong,
would i have the strength to carry on
that's where you found me,
when you put your arms around me
you haven't been there for the longest time
woohoohoohoo for the longest time
woohoohoo for the longest time
I'm that voice your hearing in the hall
and the greatest miracle of all
is when you found me,
when you put your arms around me
you haven't been there for the longest time
If you said that i'm the one that's wrong
would i have the strength to carry on
i'll take my chances
i forgot how sweet romance is
you haven't been there for the longest time
woohoohoohoo for the longest time
So I'm left wondering
there is so much left I wish that I could say to you
Silence I keep
For fear of breaking myself down and maybe getting through
getting through to you
For Pete's Sake
Let's see straight
Clench your fists up in rage
Hurts to know
We could throw
All this time away
Let's try and work it out
Please don't be angry anymore I'm on your side
I don't want to fight
Put this hate aside
Get back to a place where you and I can still be friends
You want it, you need it
And all the answers you're racing to find out
Hello friend
It's been too long
and every town sings the same sad song
Hello Friend
It's been too long
and every town sings the same sad song
without you here
this hotel year
we'll sure slow down with so much left to hear
Lets jet back down that highway now
blast stereos loud
Lets jet back down that highway now
The finish line is almost here
and someone softly whispers in my ear
"times like these are memories
to hold deep down inside of you and me"
Lets jet back down that highway now
blast stereos loud
Lets jet back down that highway now
Lets jet back down that highway now
blast stereos loud
Lets jet back down that highway now
I'm not leaving you
I'm not leaving
I'm not leaving you (Goodbye friend, it wont be long)
I'm not leaving (and until then we'll sing the same sad song)
Sad song
Lets jet back down that highway now
blast stereos loud
Lets jet back down that highway now
Lets jet back down that highway now
blast stereos loud
Lets jet back down that highway now
Lets jet back down(that highway now)
I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Or maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy
My heart is broke
But I have some glue
Help me inhale
And mend it with you
We'll float around
And hang out on clouds
Then we'll come down
And have a hangover
Have a hangover
Skin the sun
Fall asleep
Wish away
The soul is cheap
Lesson learned
Wish me luck
Soothe the burn
Wake me up
I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
My day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Maybe just happy
Think I'm just happy
I made this wishes with you
when coast to coast
and we both felt so alive
We traded safe for something,
Just had to be and we almost lost our minds
But we still here searching!
this is loud
this is cold
this is endless
and i know
growing up has just begun
but there's a place we can find
where this pain is useless
we'll forever be the young
summer came and flew by
twice as fast
it was close enough to feel
and after all this waiting
for skies to fall
i need this to be real
please let it be real
this is loud
this is cold
this is endless
and i know
growing up has just begun
but there's a place we can find
where this pain is useless
we'll forever be the young
when i was broken
i was healed
i learned to fight
i learned to feel
and i cant believe my eyes
you are still here next to me
all i need,you are all i see
in this life we hoped to find
this is loud
this is cold
this is endless
and i know
growing up has just begun
but there's a place we can find
where this pain is useless
i think i have everything i need
it got dark, but now i think i see
the world around is full of arms still reaching out to me
i hear the notes and belt them back to you
i feel loved
i'm burning like a fuse.
i'm not afraid
'cause i know i've got nothing left to lose.
[chorus]
i just want to say
i know i let you down, but i'm letting out
and i found a way that i can tell the truth, make it up to you.
i know that i have always walked the line
in between of confidence and lies
so many scenes are full of words i wish i could rewind
but here you are forgiving me again
you'll never know how real to me you've been
this is the start of another empty page where i begin
[chorus]
i just want to say
i know i let you down, but i'm letting out
and i found a way that i can tell the truth, make it up to you.
i left home but there's one thing i still know
it's always summer in my heart and in my soul.
i loved you first, i love you still.
i always will.
i loved you first, i love you still.
i always will.
[violin solo]
[chorus]
i just want to say
i know i let you down, but i'm letting out
and i found a way that i can tell the truth, make it up to you.
i left home but there's one thing i still know
it's always summer in my heart and in my soul
it's always summer in my heart and in my soul
All that I need to hear from you
something of value but something untrue
All that I wished that I'd find within you...
See how what she wanted and she needed
Tore it all down in the end
Some how like a sickness she infects me
She's simple but deadly my friend
All that I needed to hear from you
Something of value but something untrue
All that I wished that I'd find within you
Stings when I see all the ways that you...
Took me for granted and told me it's through
Picked from my pockets and smiled
Empty is nothing and nothing is you
Think I'll just sit for a while
See how what I wanted and I needed
It wasn't enough in the end
somehow with a quickness I forgot her
I wanna love,
I wanna leave.
I want you to love me,
I want you to leave me.
I want to stand where I can see,
I'm watching you love me,
And I'm watching you leave me now.
I wish i could be,
Somebody else.
I wish i could see,
You and myself.
I wish there was something inside me,
To keep you beside me.
And say,
What you really feel.
You know i need,
Something that's real.
I wish there was something inside me,
To keep you beside me.
I wanna know if i could be,
Someone to turn to,
That could never hurt you.
But i know what you think of me,
You had a breakthrough,
And now i'm just bad news for you.
I wish i could be,
Somebody else.
I wish i could see,
You and myself.
I wish there was something inside me,
To keep you beside me.
And say,
What you really feel.
You know i need,
Something that's real.
I wish there was something inside me,
To keep you beside me.
I should've told you everything.
I never gave you anything.
I should've told you everything.
If i could give you anything,
Then i would tell you everything.
I wish i could be,
Somebody else.
I wish i could see,
You and myself.
I wish there was something inside me,
To keep you beside me.
And say,
What you really feel.
You know i need,
Something that's real.
I wish there was something inside me,
To keep you beside me.
I should've told you everything.
I should've told you everything.
Eyes are feeling heavy but they never seem to close
The fan blades on the ceiling spin but the air is never cold
And even though you are next to me I still feel so alone
I just can't give you anything for you to call your own
And I can feel you breathing
And it's keeping me awake
Can you feel it beating?
My heart's sinking like a weight
Something I've been keeping locked away behind my lips
I can feel it breaking free with each and every kiss
I couldn't bear to hurt you but it's all so different now
Things that I was sure of, they have filled me up with doubt
And I can feel you breathing
And it's keeping me awake
Can you feel it beating?
My heart's sinking like a weight
I can feel you breathing
It's keeping me awake
Could you stop my heart? It's always beating.
Sinking like a weight
How am I supposed to feel about the things I've done?
I don't know if I should stay or turn around and run
I know that I hurt you, things will never be the same
The only love I ever knew, I threw it all away
And I can feel you breathing
And it's keeping me awake
Can you feel it beating?
My heart's sinking like a weight
I can feel you breathing
It's keeping me awake
Could you stop my heart? It's always beating.
Hello, you, how was the rest?
You made it through, but nevertheless
I got you out on a wire.
You be love and I’ll be a liar.
Tell it all and fill up the air,
But make it loud cause nobody’s there
And nobody’s there
And nobody’s there
Stop, turn, take a look around
At all the lights and sounds.
Let them bring you in.
Slow burn, let it all fade out,
Pull the curtain down.
I wonder where you’ve been?
Make it new, but stay in the lines.
Just let go, but keep it inside.
Smile big for everyone,
Even when you know what they’ve done.
They gave you the end but not where to start;
Not how to build, how to tear it apart.
So tell it all and fill up the air,
But make it loud 'cause nobody’s there
And nobody’s there
And nobody’s there
I've got a way to work this out,
I've got a way and you know how.
I've got a way to work this out,
I've got a way and you know how.
I've got a way to work this out,
I've got a way
I've got a way to work this out,
I've got a way and you know how.
I've got a way to work this out,
I've got a way
I've got a way to work this out,
I've got a way and you know how.
I've got a way to work this out,
I've got a way
Stop, turn, take a look around
At all the lights and sounds.
Let them bring you in.
Slow burn, let it all fade out,
Pull the curtain down.
I wonder where you've been?
You earned everything you found,
And painted faces frown.
There's a place off Ocean Avenue
Where I used to sit and talk with you
We were both sixteen and it felt so right
Sleepin' all day, stayin' up all night
Stayin' up all night
There's a place on the corner of Cherry Street
We would walk on the beach in our bare feet
We were both eighteen and it felt so right
Sleepin' all day, stayin' up all night
Stayin' up all night
If I could find you now things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
Let your waves crash down on me
And take me away, yea yea, yea
There's a piece of you that's here with me
It's everywhere I go, it's everything I see
When I sleep, I dream and it gets me by
I can make believe that you're here tonight
That you're here tonight
If I could find you now things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
I know somewhere, somehow we'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me
And take me away, yeah
I remember the look in your eyes
When I told you that this was goodbye
You were beggin' me not tonight
Not here, not now
We're looking up at the same night sky
And keep pretendin' the sun will not rise
We'll be together for one more night
Somewhere, somehow
If I could find you now things would get better
We could leave this town and run forever
I know somewhere, somehow we'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me
Call me out
You stayed inside
One you love
Is where you hide
Shot me down as I flew by
Crash and burn
I think sometimes you forget where the heart is
Answer no to these questions
Let her go, learn a lesson
It's not me, you're not listening now
Can't you see something's missing?
You forget where the heart is
Take you away from that empty apartment
You stay and forget where the heart is
Someday if ever you love me you'd say it's okay
Waking up from this nightmare
How's your life, what's it like there?
Is it all what you want it to be?
Does it hurt when you think about me?
And how broken my heart is
Take you away from that empty apartment
You stay and forget where the heart is
Someday if ever you love me you'd say it's okay
It's okay to be angry and never let go
It only gets harder the more that you know
When you get lonely if no one's around
You know that I'll catch you when you're falling down
We came together but you left alone
And I know how it feels to walk out on your own
Maybe someday I will see you again
And you'll look me in my eyes and call me your friend
Take you away from that empty apartment
You stay and forget where the heart is
Someday if ever you love me you'd say its okay
It's okay
When I look into your eyes
I can see
Such a sad man in disguise
Dreaming, wishing, waiting, drifting from me
Oh I can see
Hurts my heart to see you cry
Dreaming, wishing, waiting, drifting from me
I don't know you anymore
Wish I knew what's wrong
Can't we try to slam that door
start a brand new song
now...
I know you're lonely and you cry
wondering why
I know it's lonely but if once
You could help me understand
What it takes to be a man
Look back on what you've said
and the life you've led
Is it what you dreamed when you were young like me...
ha ha ha
Now it's time
You took something back
just for the sake of your mind
just for the sake of your mind
just for the sake of your mind
When I look into your eyes
I can see
Life has buried you alive
Dreaming, wishing, waiting, drifting from me
You can't breathe
Hurts my heart to see you cry
Possessions
The last thing on my mind
I don't give a fuck about the ties or kind
I don't want all the things you have
I love my life,it really isn't that bad
The last thing on my mind
Is to give a fuck about the ties or kind
On my mind
You are a rich kid with a rich mom and dad
I can have anything I want;I can have anything you have
Have,boats,trains,planes,or cars
I don't have to work,dad will get me really far
The last thing on my mind
Is to give a fuck about the ties or kind
On my mind
Well,you are a rich kid with a rich mom and dad
Anything I want,anything you have
This whole country could be mine
Christmas break of ninety eight just flipped me upside down
One coast out to the other following the sound
Headed west to get the best of what we all knew then
One ocean to another waves come crashing down
Carrying just me aunt Stephanie she held my hand
Told me why I was
Blazing down that highway on my way to Rock Star Land
California, a place they say glistens gold.
I wanna go there and never come back home.
Staring up at freeway signs in dreams that make me sad
One coast out to the other
One ocean to another
We cruised out to the other side
Loved us in Nebraska how they cheered us in Mattane
Told me why if I was
You and me
A little different
Though we tried to stay the same
It never leaves
And when it changes it is still a waiting game
I wait for a lonely breath
I wait to surface from this death
Wait for the light to come
And take away these images I kept
In my head
[Chorus:]
More than ever
I need to feel you
More than ever
I see the real you
You are me
A worst disaster would be waking up alone
Now we're free
We're drifting out
Like all the ones we didn't know
I wait for a silent tear
I wait for things to disappear
Wait for the ground to stop moving underneath my only fear
If I lose you I don't know
[Chorus #2:]
More than ever
I need to feel you
It's all around
More than ever
I see the real you
And it surrounds
Everything, everything
We've had
Out of sight out of mind
Given that
What I see when I dream
Hurts like hell and back
[x2]

Everytime I try to read between the lines
I'm left wondering that I did so wrong
Everytime I try, try to rationalize
When everyone went wrong why didn't we die?
Everytime I think about what it would be like
without all the things you give to me
All these thoughts keep runnning thru my head
Nothing to beleive
Look back find the things I lost
There's nothing left there so it seems
Up hill both ways
Nothing left to say
I don't know how I made it this far
I don't know how I made it last this long
I don't know why I try
All these things keeps going thru my head
Don't know which way to turn
Each path goes up hill both ways
Nothing but dust
Since I learned, up hill both ways
Nothing left to say
I don't know how I made it this far
I don't know how I made it last this long
I don't know why I try
Up hill both ways
Nothing left to do now
I am just another fool, and I have to, keep telling myself that
I am just a hypocrite, and I have to, keep calling you one
And I forgot to bite my tongue, and my assumption, was the mother of all mistakes
So I assume the role, open my mouth, and clumsy words escape
So why you, wanna to be there, when you could be here, you are slipping away
I awake with your replacement, a bottle in my grasp, in an unfamiliar place
Because you put me out, the butt of a sick joke, into this ashtray life
As you come and go, and I forgot to service you, and we broke down
And you can't live with my mistakes, so I assume false grace
Open my arms and grasp at something true
How are you, how have you been, girl I miss you, wanna see you again
So why you, wanna to be there, when you could be here, you are slipping away
I bring out the worst in you, and you try and let me know
You bring out the worst in me, anxiety, anxiety
I'm trying to let you go, you say I'm giving you the creeps
So I assume the role, open my claws and grasp for your heart
How are you, how have you been, girl I miss you, wanna see you again
Into you like a mortal stake so vindictive
Your love's slipping away
Violins, into this ashtray life
Violins, the butt of your sick joke
Violins, I'm trying hard to let you go
I got to tell you that he waited all his life
For someone like you to come make the wrong things right
I know he didn't have the answers all the time
But you can't tell me that you've never told a lie
We're almost twenty-three and you're still mad at me
So much that I said to you and I want to take it back now
Twenty-three and it's so sad to me
You tell the world I'm dead to you
But I know you want me back now
Was it fun for you to watch him fall apart? (Watch me fall)
And suffocate him while you held him in your arms (in your arms)
I swear to God I wish he never let you in (let you in)
And I just hope we never hear from you again
We're almost twenty-three and you're still mad at me
So much that I said to you and I want to take it back now
Twenty-three and it's so sad to me
you tell the world I'm dead to you
But I know you want me back
Wasted on you (wasted on you)
Wasted on you (so much time I've)
Wasted on you (wasted on you)
Wasted on you
On you
On you
Twenty-three and you're still mad at me
So much that I said to you and I want to take it back now
Twenty-three and it's so sad to me
You tell the world I'm dead to you
im tired of living up to your expectations
doing everything that you say
im tired of being someone who im not
im tired of doing the same thing every day
im caught up in your web
trying to escape
i was so deeply inlove with you
but now all thats left is hate (but now i realise what i felt was fake)
i dont understand you
your expectations are too complicated now
please tell me how things got this bad
i guess you got to me somehow
your right beside me
but i wish you were far away
i never really wanted to do this
but its something i have to say
its over now, but its true, i once did love you
and i will forever more
but things arnt like they use to be, i know you feel the same way too
i know this is going to cause alot of pain
but its the way things have to be
i never thought we'd be torn apart
but you just continued hurting me
i asked you to stop but you never did
and now i have to leave
im sorry for the heartache this may cause
but aslong as im with u, im struggelling to breathe
I feel things changing when I move
(Its a distance, Its a difference)
I'll cross this planet without you
(and you might call this a downfall)
Its one long night that I'm passing through
(Its a dark one what have I done)
Its one long night...
Don't turn your back on me now
You can't do this
Don't say you can live without
You can't do this alone
How did I end up like this, the lonely one,
Your greatest take down?
You take me down
Left last night with a long goodbye
(We cement why, through a phone line)
I told you thoughts that multiply
(That I don't know how to let go)
We've been here many times before
(I am empty, when you leave me)
What's one more?
Don't turn your back on me now
You can't do this
Don't say you can live without
You can do this alone
How did I end up like this, the broken one,
Your greatest take down?
You take me down
You take me down
I won't get by
I won't heal in time
I won't get by
Don't turn your back on me now
You can't do this
Don't say you can't live without
You can do this alone
How did I end up like this, the chosen one,
Your greatest take down?
I'm back, back in town
And everything has changed
I feel, feel let down
The faces stay the same
I see, see shadows
Of who we used to be
When I drive, drive so slow
Through this memory
When we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go of the rest
I heard, heard myself
Say things I take back
If I could, could retell
And make these stories last
I see, see shadows
Of who we'll always be
When I drive, drive these roads
That made our memories
When we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go of the rest
The shadows and regrets
We let go of the rest
Everything has changed
The faces stay the same
Everything has changed
The faces stay the same
When we were only kids
And our time couldn't end
And how tall did we stand
With the world in our hands
And we were only kids
And we were best of friends
And we hoped for the best
And let go of the rest
The shadows and regrets
We let go of the rest
The shadows and regrets
Like a Saturday Night I'll Be Gone
Like a Saturday Night I'll be gone before you knew that I was there
So you wrote it down
I'm supposed to care
Even though it's never there
Sorry if I'm not prepared
Is it hard to see the things you substitute?
For me and all my thoughts of you
It's eating me alive to leave you
Maybe it's childish
And maybe it's wrong
But so is your blank stare in lieu of this song
Maybe it's childish
And maybe it's wrong
Don't wanna be don't wanna be wrong
You're leaving me, you're leaving me
in lieu of this song
Don't wanna be don't wanna be wrong
You're leaving me, you're leaving me
in lieu of this, lieu of this song
I'm breathing in your skin tonight
Quiet is my loudest cry
Wouldn't wanna wake the eyes
that make me melt inside
And if it's healthier to leave you be
May your sickness come and set me free
Kill me while I still believe that you were meant for me
(Humming Part)
I'm Finding my own words my own little stage
My own epic drama my own scripted page
Send you the rough draft I’ll seal it with tears
Maybe you’ll read it and I’ll reappear
From the start it was shaky
And the characters rash
A nice setting for heartache where emotions come last
All I have deep inside to overcome this desire
Are friendly intentions and fair-weather smiles
And I don’t wanna be, don’t wanna be wrong
You’re leaving me, you’re leaving me
in lieu of this song
Don’t wanna be don’t wanna be wrong
You’re leaving me you’re leaving me
in lieu of this, lieu of this song
Like Saturday night I’ll be gone
Like Saturday night I’ll be gone
Like Saturday night I’ll be gone
Like Saturday night I’ll be gone
before you knew that I was there
Lying soaked in sweat tonight
Your knuckles white, you try to fight
The need for more to get you by
You've had enough you wonder why
Even now your body cries
For chemicals to blind your eyes
Wonder can you stay this high
When the cells begin to die
Forever, forever, forever
Crush it up, crush it up
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down
Swallowed like the medicine
That's broken down my happy friend
Wonder if he'll let me in
If I come to see him when he's better
He's better, he's better... now
Crush it up, crush it up
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down
Crush it up, crush it up
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down
There's power
In the powder
Dissolving in your guts
There's power
In the powder
Dissolving in your guts
Crush it up, crush it up
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down
Crush it up, crush it up
Take it down, take it down
Smash it up, smash it up
Falling down
I'm falling (crush it up, crush it up)
I'm falling (take it down, take it down)
I'm falling (smash it up, smash it up)
I'm falling down
I'm falling (crush it up, crush it up)
I'm falling (take it down, take it down)
I'm falling (smash it up, smash it up)
I'm falling down
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling
well i'm on the brink, of something horrible
Just what it is I’m not to sure
But I can’t take it anymore (round 1 fight)
I can’t explain the feeling that I feel,
I’m not even sure that they’re for real
Doesn’t work to end in sour tales
Go to sleep so I can wake up
Wondering why things are this way
What the fuck did I say?
To make you hate me any way
i'm on the brink, I lost my self control
I didn’t think that this would happen to me anymore
Just want to be a babe for once
I can’t explain the feelings that I feel,
I’m not even sure if they’re for real
Doesn’t work to end in sour tales
Go to sleep so I can wake up
Wondering why things are this way
What the fuck did I say?
To make you hate me any way (you lose)
Here. A little sympathy for you to waste on me
I know you're faking it but that's okay
And I don't want to drag it out
Don't want to bring you down
I never wanted it to end this way
Even if I wanted to
I don't think that I'd get to you
There's nothing I can say to you to make you feel alive again
Here. A little jealousy
I hope you think of me
Hope you wonder where I sleep at night (sleep at night)
Cause I feel like I'm inside out
You got me upside down
Maybe I was holding on too tight
Even if I wanted to
I don't think that I'd get to you
There's nothing I can say to you to make you feel alive again
So don't just say goodbye to me
Just turn your back away and leave
And if you're lucky I will be your last regret, your only friend
The two of us we dream like one
The two of us, the two of us
The two of us take breath like one
The two of us, the two of us
I guess that this is over now
I guess it's called the falling out
But everyday I'm learning how to make it through this life I'm in
Even if I wanted to
I don't think that I'd get to you
There's nothing I can say to you to make you feel alive again
So don't just say goodbye to me
Just turn your back away and leave
Mary belongs to the words of a song.
I try to be strong for her, try not to be wrong for her.
But she will not wait for me, anymore, anymore.
Why did I say all those things before? I was sure.
(She is the one), but I have a purpose,
(she is the one), and I have to fight this,
(she is the one), a villian I can't knock down.
I see your face with every punch I take,
and every bone I break, it's all for you.
And my worst pains are words I cannot say,
still I will always fight on for you.
Mary's alive in the bright New York sky,
the city lights shine for her, above them I cry for her.
Everything's small on the ground below, down below.
What if I fall, then where would I go, would she know?
(She is the one), all that I wanted,
(she is the one), and I will be haunted,
(she is the one), this gift is my curse for now.
I see your face with every punch I take,
and every bone I break, it's all for you.
And my worst pains are words I cannot say,
Still I will always fight on for you. Fight on for you ...
I see your face with every punch I take,
and every bone I break, its all for you
and my worst pains are words I cannot say
Clenching the water there is no grip
Always knew there would be an end to this trip
Take in the ice he feels no pain
All is lost only 2 his gain
Forever is too long to wait
But you had to take that great escape (x2)
Tries to fly only to find he will hit the ground
With one motion it comes to an end so goodbye my friend (x2)
Remember the days we stared at the sky
At the clouds and ships that passed us by
The monkey bars and the jungle gym
Seemed too high too high for him
We're jamming
In the bedroom
Mom will be home pretty soon
She'll make us turn it off
Why can't you see that it's not that bad?
Gives us a reason to get off the couch
Gives a purpose to my petty existence
Why can't you see my point of view this once?
Well mom kicked us out
There's no point to scream and shout
She'll always get it her fucking way
We gonna have to find another place to play
To Give us a reason to get off the couch
Gives a purpose to my petty existence
You sat me down beside myself
To show me all the reasons I was wrong for you
Was this for real? It's hard to tell
'Cause it was such a beautiful mess we had got into
I'm gonna overcome this, paper hearts can't win this time
And all along I should have known this wasn't your dream, it was mine
I know you wanted me to give up this life to be
Everything I was back when you had the hands my heart was in
I was never good at goodbye...
Can I swallow this bottle whole?
So this brain in my head can forget your face
When we were starting out, you believed in me without a doubt
You were the finest thing to happen to a boy like me
It's so much harder now, I wanna try and tell you how
There is so much love in me, even though it's hard to see
And I was never good at goodbye...
Can I swallow this bottle whole?
So this brain in my head can forget your face
Can I swallow this bottle whole?
'Cause I'd rather be dead than make more mistakes
Today I couldn't stay awake
Feels like I'm drowning in this firewater lake
I won't be sleeping much tonight
It's not the same without you lying by my side
(Right beside me)
Can I swallow this bottle whole?
So this brain in my head can forget your face
Can I swallow this bottle whole?
'Cause I'd rather be dead than make more mistakes
I know you wanted me to give up my life to be
(Can I swallow this bottle whole?)
Everything I am when you're the only thing that I can see
(Can I swallow this bottle whole?)
I'm sorry but you're not the, not the only one for me
(So this brain in my head can forget your face)
You left me here beside myself
I work all night
For one more day that I can say I'm all alone, alone
I just need time
And I will say what I believe and I'll come home, home
And all I know
I never thought I would wake up in bed
Watching the world coming down on my head
I'd sleep like a dog if you would never had said
This is the world coming down on your head
As life flies by
I'm not sure how I'm gonna do this all again, again
So line by line
I write this down and I'm just trying to find the end, the end
And all I know
You gave it to me
I remember it read
You got the world coming down on your head
There's nothing to fight for, it's already dead
And this is the world coming down on my head
I'm not gonna swallow the lie that I'm fed
Cos I want the world coming down on my head
You're gonna find out you're already dead
